This post contains no spoilers.
Someone spilled the beans on what happens in the new Harry Potter book (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) in a clever way: they posted a chapter-by-chapter synopsis to Wikipedia, then locked it to prevent changes or deletion. It was posted before the book went on sale one week ago at 12:01am local time across the U.S.
The explicit curses found in various chat rooms about the Wikipedian responsible were hilarious, and unsettling at the same time. Lots of screaming about the book's contents being spoiled and the ending being given away by those fans stupid enough to read the Wikipedia entry before reading the book.
It's their own damned fault.
I think that someone in Europe posted the information to Wikipedia as they had hours to read the book and post the article to Wikipedia before the book went on sale over here. Hey, don't look at me, I didn't do it. I read the Wikipedia entry at 12:05am EST.
Hope the Wikipedian covered his exterior posterior because some Potter fans are looking for someone to throttle. Morons.
